E(z)RF Application Suite

The Meru Networks® E(z)RF™ Application Suite include comprehensive network management, coverage planning tools and location management for the planning, monitoring, securing, and administration of Meru Networks systems.

The Meru E(z)RF Application Suite provides network administrators with the applications for planning, RF visualization, locationing, centralized monitoring, fault management, reporting, and configuration of enterprise wireless networks of all sizes.

Meru E(z)RF is a key component of the Meru Mobile SCALE Solution, which also includes Meru Access Points (APs), Controllers, and Meru System Director software. With Meru, organizations can easily and efficiently enable the All-Wireless Enterprise-a pervasive wireless infrastructure for business-critical applications, including toll-quality voice, high-capacity data, and video.

Key Benefits:

Perimeter Zone Protection secures air space within multiple zones, forming a virtual shield around an enterprise
Location services for multi-level floor plans, rogue AP blocking and support for hundreds of APs and tracked devices
Location tracking with no calibration for simple, timely setup
Real-time RF visualization improves network management and increases productivity
Richly-featured graphical user interface (GUI) delivers information in a simple, intuitive format
Configuration templates streamline multi-controller deployment and maintenance
Monitors multiple controllers to reduce costs and simplify troubleshooting
Enterprise scalability allows monitoring of multiple controllers and associated APs

Wired and Wireless Network Management

Screenshot Meru's Wired and Wireless Management solution provides a centralized view of all network resources and operations for both wired and wireless networks. Easy to use and easy to deploy, Meru's Wired and Wireless Management solution delivers enterprise scalability, automated alerts, and multi-vendor fault and performance management.

Through the partnership with SolarWinds, Meru is able to offer two complementary network management solutions that, when used in conjunction, give IT managers granular, centralized management and reporting for the majority of network devices and elements on the enterprise network. IT organizations will be able to use Meru's E(z)RF Network Manager and SolarWinds Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) together to increase efficiency in the initial deployment and ongoing operation of their entire network. In addition, when issues do occur, IT departments will be able to evaluate the business impact of the issue within minutes, across the entire wired-wireless network infrastructure. Without this complete visibility, this same process could cost organizations enormous time and expense. The combination offers a level of visibility that many legacy vendors are unable to offer.

Key Features

Integrated Solution to Monitor Your Wired and Wireless Network
Meru's Wired and Wireless Management solution combines Orion NPM's multi-vendor, powerful end-to-end network and availability performance monitoring for network resources from routers, switches, servers, wireless controllers and access points and E(z)RF Network Manager's detailed wireless performance dashboards, RF visualization and fault correlation and reporting to provide enterprises with comprehensive network visibility, across both wireless and wired networks. IT organizations will be able to use E(z)RF Network Manager and Orion NPM together to increase efficiency in the initial deployment and ongoing operation of their entire network.
Proactive Monitoring Across Your Entire Network
With Meru's Wired and Wireless Management solution, IT organizations will be able to increase efficiency in the initial deployment and ongoing operation as well as better monitor and troubleshoot their networks. When troublesome activity does arise, IT departments will now be able to evaluate the business impact of the issue within minutes. Without this visibility across the entire network, the same process can literally take days to evaluate including expensive site visits.
Quickly Resolve Customer Inquiries in the First Call
With the ability to proactively monitor and manage your Wired and Wireless networks from the combined solution, IT organizations have one platform for monitoring and troubleshooting the entire enterprise network. When a problem occurs somewhere on the network infrastructure, IT can isolate the problem and drill down to the specific element. This enables the helpdesk administrator to evaluate the business impact of the issue within minutes, resolving both wireless and wired issues without costly and time-consuming escalations. Without this end-to-end, granular view of the network, this same process could cost organizations enormous time and expense. The combination offers a level of visibility that many legacy vendors are unable to offer.
